| Storyline: |
A former martial arts teacher on the North side of Chicago, the man commonly referred to as Mokap was called upon by Johnny Cage to do some motion capture work for his new movie "Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance." Mokap was flown to Hollywood to begin his first session, which consisted mainly of the Crane and Snake styles. Although many other martial artists were used, Mokap was brought in repeatedly for his vast knowledge of fighting techniques.
Mokap was the primary martial arts talent for motion capture during the production of Johnny Cage's movie based on recent events in Outworld. He was referred to the game designers at Midway Games and used in the production of the Video Game adaptation of the movie. |

| Fighting Style: |
Karate: Karate is a named used for a group of martial arts developed on Okinawa, before the island was integrated into Japan. Historically, Okinawa enjoyed a great trade economy based on shipping, which exposed the locals to martial arts from many parts of Aisa, including Japan and China. Significant styles of karate include: Shotokan, Shorin-ryu and Goju-ryu. Karate was introduced to Japan in the early 20th century and later to the rest of the world, where it continues to include many other martial art forms.
Tai Chi: The literal translation of Tai Chi Chuan is "supreme ultimate fist." Chang San-Feng is credited with developing the 13
postures that form the basis of all modern Tai Chi. From his developments sprung the various derivatives of the Chinese art of
Tai Chi which are seen today.
Tae Kwon Do: Japan occupied and heavily influenced Korea from 1910 through the end of WWII. At that time, Korea gained its
independence and began reclaiming its martial culture. Several kwans arose, which were later combined into Tae Soo Do in 1955. In 1957 the stlye was renamed Tae Kwon Do. Japanese occupation influenced Tae Kwon Do through the introduction of Shotokan. Initially taught to the military, Tae Kwon Do is now a widely practiced sport. In many respects, Tae Kwon Do is the Korean equivalent of Karate, with more emphasis placed on kicking. |
